Less then 4 weeks to go, then Training

I can't believe how fast the time has gone, in a week we will be leaving to drop my oldest daughter to college, she is going to be a freshman at Gonzaga University. With my whole preparation for Bikram TT I haven't really had the time to think about how much I am going to be missing my girl, I guess that is kinda good but then who knows how I will be feeling when we are in her dorm, helping her set it up and then leaving her there. I sure hope I am prepared for that. Then 2 weeks later I leave to Acapulco for 9 weeks. Where has the time gone?

I am so thankful to have such wonderful Bikram Teachers around me and a wonderful studio owner that I also call my friend, Annette has taught me so much about myself, I thank her for her encouraging words and helping me find my inner voice that led me to my decision.

Since I received my Bikram dialogue it has consumed my life this summer, it has been yoga, dialogue, family, yoga, rest, family, etc. I have kinda stressed myself a bit that I gained 7lb in a month, I'm not worried about it, since I know I will be losing it during training. It is very unlike me to gain weight this fast, but I figured it out and I think I am ok with it for now, as long as it goes away soon, if not, well then I will have to figure that one again, LOL!!

Namaste!

Decision Made

I never thought I would ever be blogging, but here I am heading off to Bikram Yoga Training leaving my family for 9 weeks. So I thought well why not, what a great way to share my journey with my friends and family and what a great way to stay connected with everyone as well.

This decision was not easy for me to make, I have been married for 19 years to my best friend, never lived on my own, I went straight from Mom and Dad's home to getting married and having 2 beautiful daughters. My oldest Jess is heading off to College, she leaves right before I leave to Acapulco. My youngest Chelsea & my poor hubby are left behind at home by themselves. It's definitely going to be tough getting through all of these changes, but what keeps me going is my wonderful supportive family. I had those days, where I said "NO" I am not going to be a Bikram Teacher, but they saw something that took me awhile to discover and that was that I was very passionate about my practice. So here I am heading off to Bikram Fall Training 08.

My Bikram Yoga practiced started about 3years ago, when a friend of mine invited me to try something different yoga in a heated room about 110 degrees 50% humidity for 90 minutes, 26 postures, sounds easy right? So there I was thinking, wow the room is HOT!! But I was hooked, not only was I physically looking great, I was able to get off all of medications such has Prozac, Anxiety pills, and who knows what else I would be on if I didn't have my Yoga. I am a better person because of my yoga, and that is why I am ready to give back what was given to me, I am ready to take on this challenge and teach the Yoga that has changed my life.

I will be leaving my family for 9 weeks, I will be practicing in a heated room that is approx. 110 degree 50% humidity for 90 minutes, 2 times a day Monday through Saturday with lots of lectures, posture clinics that can last till the next morning, I hope I am ready and that my body is ready for it too.
